Great device, not worth the money though.

Excerpt: INTRODUCTION This is my current dictaphone and so far I am really impressed by it. Since going to university I have fallen in love with dictaphone and don't think people give them another credit as they are now viewed as a fairly old school device. PRODUCT The device comes in a sleek, shiny black case, and is nice and light weight and compact, without being too small.

Great sound, nice looks

Excerpt: When I first started in med school, this little hand held Dictaphone by the market leader Olympus came in so handy it was unbelievable. Why buy a Dictaphone when most phones have a recording device built in? We had a lecturer that hated mobile phones and would insist we turned off ours right in front of him as we entered the hall.

A great and compact dictaphone that pretty much can't be beaten for functionality!

Excerpt: The first i heard of these dictaphones was when I was given a demonstration of one so I could make a decision for my Disabled Students Allowance claim for university. The first thing that struck me was the compact size. It will easily fit pretty much anywhere and not hinder the people around you. In terms of ease of use, you won't get much better. It is easy to navigate the menus, initiate recordings and play back what you recorded.

A good piece of kit

Excerpt: The dictaphones you can get nowadays are so much better than any from the past. The clarity of playback is a heck of a lot better, along with the amount you can store on them. The size has of course got smaller and smaller over the years, as with many modern gadgets. It seems to be the smaller then better, this isn't always good though, especially for gentleman who do not have small hands! You won't have any trouble with this one though.

Pricey but well worth the money

Excerpt: I came across the Olympus DM 550 when I first started university last year. I am dyslexic and qualified for DSA and they recommended this model for me and as they were paying for it I accepted. I was very sceptical at first as I have had a different, much cheaper olympus voice recorder while at college and did not use it much due to the quality of play back. I found it to pick up any sound close to it, like paper rustlingand the lecturers voice would be muffled.
